V1.08.09 May 04, 2016

New features
1. Disabled promotion to Guards status for Tank and Mechanized Corps divided into brigades, to prevent name loss and TOE issues upon merge.

2. Security units will be able to resupply to 100% and upgrade ground elements without penalties, while being more than 20 MP or 5 hexes away from their HQ, just like Fort units.

3. Airbases will not resupply through HQs, only individually, as if they were more than 20 MP or 5 hexes from their HQ (without penalties).

4. Introduced ground element type-based replacement priority. It is equal to element’s CV, except that all elements useful in a fight and air support have a minimum value of 2 (mostly applies to artillery), while support and labor elements have a value of 1. In case of shortages, reduction is no longer proportional across the board, but based on priority, where elements with higher priority get access to more manpower and armaments.

5. Changed base reassignment cost multiplier for HQ units from 2 to 1.5 (25% reduction).

6. Updated national morale tables, see Appendix A.

7. German HQs named “Motorized Corps” will confer the same bonus to leader rolls as do HQs named “Panzer Corps”, and will be treated as “armor HQs”.

8. Added individual turn limits to armaments export from Germany to Axis Allies. The limits for 1941-1945 are as follows: Finland - 0.5k, 1k, 1k, 1k, 1k; Italy - 0.5k, 1k, 1k, 0k, 0k; Rumania - 1k, 2k, 3k, 3k, 3k; Hungary - 1k, 2k, 3k, 3k, 3k; Slovakia - 0.5k, 1k, 1k, 1k, 1k. There are separate from the threshold below which exports are possible, which remains unchanged. This limits maximum exports from Germany from 25k per turn to 9k per turn in 1943 (and just 3.5k in 1941). These limits will be affected by German and Axis Allies production percentages in smaller scenarios.

9. Added some new tests to scenario check tool, related to unit guards status.

10. Added new ground element type “Medium SP Flak”, identical to “SP Flak”, in order to allow differentiation between 20mm and 37mm SP Flak in TOEs.

11. Changed the limit of allowed air bombing missions (unit, city, airfield) from 3 of each kind per hex to 2 of any kind per hex.

12. Reworked Axis rail supply modifier. Base value is equal to logistics difficulty level (usually 100). It is reduced by 1 (0.5 after 3/42) for each hex east of x=50, except if y is less than 12. It is decreased by 10 before November 1941. It is increased by 10 in 1943, and by 20 in 1944 or later. Resulting value may not be lower than 25 nor higher than 100. Finally, blizzard effect is applied by multiplying that value by 0.9 (this is changed during First Winter to 0.5 in 1941, and 0.75 in 1942) if necessary. In return First Winter effect is no longer applied at an earlier stage of resupply. For Finnish units only the regular blizzard multiplier can affect base value.

13. Added Soviet rail supply modifier. Base value is equal to logistics difficulty level (usually 100). It is reduced by 0.5 for each hex west of x=64. It is increased by 5 in 1945. Resulting value may not be lower than 25 nor higher than 100. Finally, blizzard effect is applied by multiplying that value by 0.9 if necessary.

14. Reduced morale of newly built units and replacements from 80%-100% to 50%-75% of basic national morale.

15. Reduced maximum experience of newly built units and replacements from 100% to 75% in case of non-German elite units and German regular units, and from 100% to 50% in case of non-German regular units. Minimum experience remains unchanged.

16. Reduced base chance for counterattack to 25%, and for fighting withdrawal to 50% (both by 25%). Maximum chance capped at 95%.

17. Removed extra protection from German and Finnish AFVs in combat, it is no longer required with the introduction of combat events.

18. It will be now possible to disband air bases as long as the number of air bases is greater than number of army HQs+2 (+7 in case of Rumania). Panzer Groups do count as armies, but RHG Commands do not. German army air bases are exempt from this rule, and all may be disbanded after 1942 (but none earlier).

19. Soviet infantry repair modificator for 1941 was reduced, but all Soviet repair modificators will be increasing slowly each year. German AFV repair modificator was slightly reduced, and all German repair modificators will be reduced in 1945.

20. Percentage of German production going East changed from 85% to 75% for 1941, and from 50% to 65% for 1945.

21. Scrapping elements that require vehicles to produce or tanks with CV 9 will result in vehicle production, roughly equal to 75% of the number of scrapped elements.

22. Reduced protection of all elements when light post-combat losses are resolved (in case of fighting withdrawals and failed attacks without a counterattack), especially vehicles. Element’s reliability will now play a role in this as well. Protection of all elements when very light post-combat losses are resolved (in case of victorious side in combat, be it attacker or defender) was kept at previous level.

23. Increased Soviet Union ability to repair vehicles in bad weather from 15k to 20k.

24. Replaced 5% chance for Snow in North Soviet Zone during May-19th June with Mud (so now there will be 55% chance for Mud, and 45% chance for Clear).

25. There will be no automatic Blizzard in December 1941 and January 1942 in Europe Zone.

26. Made ports and manpower harder to damage by bombing (less than oil and resource, but more than heavy industry, railyards, armaments, ground element and aircraft factories).

27. Made CAP missions against city bombing easier to execute, just like CAP missions against airfield bombing.

28. Combat events (counterattack, fighting withdrawal) will not happen if there is Mud, or if the largest (in number of men) defending unit is affected by First Winter. Weather is checked for the hex in which battle occurs (defender’s hex).

29. Reduced effectiveness of night bombing by 50%.

30. Adjusted resolution of post-combat losses, enabling ready element loss with crew surrender, ready element damage, and damaged element loss with crew surrender for units with morale greater than 54. At the same time reduced chance for damaged element loss with crew disabled or returned to pool.

31. Added the ability to set air groups to operate during both day and night. This will allow to reduce micromanagement, and to retain flexibility of having some fighter cover active during enemy turn, regardless of conditions chosen by enemy player (who can switch his air groups between day and night missions at will), even without dedicated air groups set to night missions (which was difficult in case of Germans having low number of large air groups, and no night fighters during first half of the war). Bear in mind that intercepts at night are usually done by small number of aircraft, so they are not as effective as intercepts during the day, but this is offset by lack of enemy escorts at night.

Bug fixes
1. Fixed a bug where old supply sources were still used instead of new ones. Because of this some cities were incorrectly marked as not linked to supply grid, and were unable to participate in transportation of all types of resources.
2. Fixed a bug where Panzer Army was not treated as “armor HQ” for the purposes of automatic reassignment, while Panzer Group was.
3. Fixed alignment of text in scenario description, so that lines generated automatically start in the same column as lines from externally provided text.
4. Fixed a bug in the editor where “DOWN” button was not showing in some circumstances, preventing scrolling the list of units attached to a HQ.
5. Fixed a bug in counting percentage of guard units of the same type for rifle, cavalry, and mountain units other than divisions.
6. Fixed a bug that caused guard unit limit to be 1 point higher than desired.
7. Fixed a bug where rail modifier was calculated based on unit location, instead of railhead location.
8. Fixed a bug in calculating average experience of each side in combat (for the purposes of combat events), where each unit had a weight of one instead of weight based on the number of elements in that unit.
9. Fixed a bug where FoWed unit on-counter CV was not refreshed fully after logistics phase, and the game used values from before logistics phase, which resulted in, for example, defensive CV not including the impact of forts built during that logistics phase.
10. Fixed a bug where incorrect amount (near zero) of ammunition and fuel was expended by planes performing a CAP mission.
11. Fixed a bug where factory evacuation wasn’t working for cities other than ports, when enemy unit was adjacent, as well as some interface bugs related to this.
12. Fixed a bug where AI could evacuate factories in June 1941.
13. Fixed a bug where routing reserve units, units retreating to a hex in enemy ZOC, and units retreating across unfrozen rivers could benefit from fighting withdrawal losses reduction.
14. Possibly fixed a bug related to HQs relocating during the logistics phase due to invalid links between map hexes and units. All such relocations will be logged (not shown to players) to assist with proving the patch worked, or showing which routine is responsible for that unwanted behavior.

Scenario changes
1. Addition/dispersion of railyards in campaigns and larger scenarios:
a. 5 moved from Leningrad to Pavlovo, Kolpino, Pushkin, Novgorod, and Cherepovets.
b. 4 moved from Moscow to Wyazma (1), and Kursk (3).
c. 3 added to Bratislava, Warsaw, and Magnitogorsk.
d. 1 added to Lvov, Saransk, Arzamas, Kaunas, and Vilnius.
e. 1 moved from non-rail-connected Naberezhnye Chelny to Pskov.

2. All reinforcing Luftwaffe Field divisions (except 1st and 21st) rebuilt to 55 morale/experience (they lacked infantry training and performed badly in combat).

3. Added missing Luftwaffe special status to II and III Luftwaffe Field Corps, and removed Luftwaffe special status from Kerch Corps.

4. Added disbands to 18th Panzer Division (7/44, actually disbanded 9/43 to form 18th Artillery Division, which was in turn disbanded 7/44 to form Grossdeutschland Panzer Corps), 323rd Infantry Division, 377th Infantry Division, and most of Luftwaffe Field Divisions (between 3/43 and 8/44).

5. Added special TOE for 5th, 8th, and 28th Infantry Divisions, so that they will transform into Jager Divisions automatically (from 3/42). Thanks to this they will be no longer forced to withdraw (and corresponding Jager Divisions will not arrive as reinforcements).

6. Reassigned various units in multiple campaigns and larger scenarios, including hundreds of support units (mostly Flak and Nebelwerfer), notably in 1941-45 Campaign:
a. V and VI Corps to 9th Army.
b. XXIII Corps to Army Group North.
c. 16th Panzer Division to XIV Panzer Corps.
d. 16th Motorized Division to XXXXVIII Panzer Corps.
e. 25th Motorized Division to III Panzer Corps.
f. 900th Lehr Motorized Brigade to XXXXII Corps.
g. 8th SS Cavalry Brigade to 102nd RHG Command.

7. Renamed, rebuilt to correct TOE, altered equipment, corrected arrivals, added disbands (or withdrawals) to hundreds of support units (mostly Flak and Nebelwerfer).

8. Added tens of new support units (mostly Flak and Nebelwerfer).

9. Removed organic SP Flak from 3rd, 16th, 20th, and 29th Motorized Divisions (replaced by attached SP Flak Companies in the last three).

10. Reworked upgrade paths of Stug Battalions and Stug Brigades, so that twelve of them will end up as Sturmartillerie Brigades in 7/44.

11. Replaced 10th, 18th and 182nd Luftwaffe Flak Regiments in Stalingrad to Berlin scenario, as well as in some related scenarios, by individual Flak units.

12. Disabled 111th Lehr Stug Brigade (duplicate of Burg Stug Brigade), and HG Fallschirm Stug Brigade (part of 2nd HG Panzergrenadier Division).

13. 3rd and 4th Cavalry Brigades will arrive with just 1 Stug, to account for Stugs received from the now-disbanding 177th and 189th Stug Battalions.

14. Reorganized Rumanian units in 1941, according to more accurate data sources, notably:
a. Army Group Antonescu withdraws at the end of July 1941.
b. Two Cavalry Battalions renamed Guards and made Axis Elite.
c. Several AA Battalions added.

15. Reorganized Finnish air forces in 1941, according to more accurate data sources, notably:
a. Changed size of all groups to Air Battalions (max size 10).
b. Changed numbers of many types of aircraft available in active pool.
c. Changed types and number of aircraft assigned to some groups.
d. Removed withdrawal of 1/LeLv24.
e. 2/LeLv24 will return in 7/42.

16. Renamed HG Parachute Panzer Corps to HG Fallshrim Panzer Corps to better match names of other HG units.

17. Added extra construction units to FBD units in some scenarios, to increase their MP allowance (reduced due to low TOE%, and too little attached construction units). Those units were reassigned from other HQs.

18. Restored Soviets to 140 vehicle factories in late war campaigns.

19. Added factories for Soviet BM-... SP Rocket Launchers, since they changed their type from Rockets, and are no longer auto-produced.

This should be opposite. Higher morale in 41-42 and decreasing from 43.

"Percentage of German production going East changed from 85% to 75% for 1941, and from 50% to 65% for 1945. "

Oh my. This brings back memories of discussions past.
Jentz showed 1025 PzIII accepted from July-Dec 1941
Game has 642 J&L, 210 j arrive with 5th and 2nd.
I cannot find the deliveries to Africa. It is somewhere in the forum
And we just took another 52 PzIII away from 1941. Was 538 now 486. Add 2&5 and we have 696 of 1025 PzIII arriving to the east.
What works in the macro may fail in the micro. Tough nut to crack from a design perspective.

Is the number for 1942 still 80%? I cannot find a change.

Yes, it's still 80%. I think for the most part of 1941 panzer forces had to make do with what they started with, as new panzer production was kept at home (true, part of it arrived with 2nd and 5th Panzer), and it was hard even to get some replacement engines. Nigel Askey states in his Barbarossa book that only 35% of Pz III production was sent east as replacements in 1941.

14. Reorganized Rumanian units in 1941, according to more accurate data sources, notably:
a. Army Group Antonescu withdraws at the end of July 1941.
b. Two Cavalry Battalions renamed Guards and made Axis Elite.
c. Several AA Battalions add

Just for clarification shouldn't that line read 'Two Cavalry Brigades' & if so do they still upgrade to divisions later?

Are we pushing forward a bow wave? What did deliveries to the East look like in 1942?

I know what a bow wave is, but not in this context. Please enlighten non-native speaker...
Unfortunately there is no data about 1942, because that book is only about Barbarossa (until the end of 1941). I assume the problems encountered at the end of 1941 changed attitude in German High Command (=Fuehrer) and more resources were release and production ramped up. From what I remember in 1941 they were switching production to ships and planes to prepare for England again (with Barbarossa underway), in 1942 they had to switch to ground again. Many months of work were wasted this way.

By bow wave I mean: is do the PzIIIs that are missing by the end of 1941 stay missing? Were they ever sent east? In the game, it takes a long time. So we seem to agree that 1941 ends with 194 PzIII held in Germany. This table shows month by month what Jentz says was accepted, what the game sends East via production, what arrives in the East via units or goes to Africa. So in Mar 42, 122 arrive in the east in the 23rd Pz XX. 111 arrive in the 24th in May and 247 go to Africa in Jan-May. The game finally catches up in Jan 43. So for all of 1942, the game holds an average of 196 PzIII in Germany and only catches up because it does not ramp down PzIIIs in January. IMHO, the appropriate way to handle this is to make the average number of PzIII held in Germany as close to 0 as is possible. Even if (gasp) it goes below 0 and for a few weeks there are a few more than historical PzIII in the East.

It's hard to handle this with just one percentage modifier. As you can see from the tables the percentage varied for different types of weapons. Unless there will be option to specify this modifier per-element I see no better solution. Maybe you get less PzIII, but you get more StuGs etc

German morale was changed to 3 point decline per year after 1942 for some time. This was done to prevent late war disintegration (remember the winning side usually is 5-10 points above their NM, and the losing side is 5-10 points below their NM). So the only gain is slower decline at start of each year rather than one big drop. Previous version actually made them weaker with earlier drop.

I think the minors have learned something about modern warfare at this time, and they had to defend their homeland - finally something to fight for (rather than invade someone in a "victorious" war of another power). In historical accounts I don't see them as very poor fighters, they were rather badly equipped (but this was at least partially dealt with, in 1941 they had really small artillery component and very weak AT), and usually appointed tasks they were unsuitable for (as if the Germans were thinking Rumanian infantry division being equivalent of theirs, and gave them similar frontages). Besides the same applies to them as to the Germans (see above), so +5 NM being the defending side is more like -1 or -2 morale on average. And you have to relate their combat power to the Soviets - 45 NM retreating rifle divisions of 9000 men in 1941 vs 60 NM advancing rifle corps of 30000 men in 1944. Even with +5 NM the ratio of combat power swings drastically against minors. And I always had the intent of minors being usable, so that Axis players would put them to use on the front instead of using them only as garrisons. And being on the front they are still a weaker part, like during Uranus, but at least one can now risk to put them on the front at all (I do it in stacks of three, in fortified positions), rather than having a no-brainer choice of always keeping them behind.

What matters is that Soviets are the strongest they have ever been, starting from late 1942, in some points comparable to pre-1.08 morale, in some even stronger.
